From left, Tobie Finzel, Carol Sawyer and George Gans were
delighted with the competition at the Senior Spelling Bee.
Very few people will confuse
lagniappe, chiarusco and syzy-
gy with their everyday vocabu
lary, but these words were a
necessary part of last month’s
Vernonia Senior Spelling Bee.
After 100 words, Carol Saw
yer and Tobie Finzel were tied
for the lead, with George Gans
in a solid third place.
Ten words later, including
lagniappe
and
chiarusco,
Sawyer and Finzel gave each
other a high five as they were
still tied!
Nine more words, and Finzel
was stumped by syzygy, but a
great time was enjoyed by both
participants and spectators.
Audeen Wagner, winner at
the national contest two years
ago, organized and prepared
the event. Noni Andersen, last
year’s local winner, read the
words. There were about 25
contestants.
